And for that matter, I'd stick with the 003 mixer version because it includes at least their version of a scrub wheel which is also quite helpful.

You can affectivly do things on the key board, but you cut your time in half, if not by more with a control surface. Also, I think for the most part if you are on a budget that the Digidisign 002 or 003 mixers are the most practical root for intry level, as a matter of fact I have been in HD studios that are still using 003 mixers. You can find them from $300 to $500 on Ebay and in some online stores. Remember though, you want to look for the 002 or 003 mixer, not rack. > HTH > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Slau Halatyn" > <slauhala...@gmail.com> > To: <ptaccess@googlegroups.com> > Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2013 9:45 AM > Subject: Re: What's needed to effectively use Pro tools as a blind person? > > >> Hey J.
